Song did see the attack coming, but not in time to dodge it as Seph had. Instead, she let the tail hit her, absorbing some of the impact with a hastily cast Aero. She'd been waiting for something like this, or she'd not have been able to get the spell off in time.

She hit the ground hard and lost her grip on the spell, but it had done its job. She wasn't so battered as to forget her plan.

Song stayed where she'd fallen, stirring only a little. She looked as if she'd been dazed by the throw, and that was the point. Jalen and Seph could would take the front line now and, with any luck, keep Maleficent's attention. It only had to be long enough for Song to cast one spell.

One spell she had never tried and only had the roughest concept of.
